How to Brighten someone's Day


 

How to brighten someone’s Day

 

   How can we brighten someone today? How can we encourage someone today? I believe so many people are carrying a heavy heart, discouraged, and a lot of times they would not share their feelings.

                                                                                                   I believe today, that some are going through a divorce, sudden illness, terminal illness, loss of job, a feeling of concerns of taking care of an older parent.

                                                                                            I also believe that some are in serious pain, some are going through separations from loved ones, some have feelings of not being loved, and some are going through intense persecutions. Friends, what can we do to help them?

 

   In Acts chapter eleven verses 19-26 verse “Who when he came, and seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.”

 

   The believers in Jesus were going through intense persecutions and in spite of this they continued preaching the gospel and many were getting saved.

 

 The church in Jerusalem heard this and sent Barnabas to give them encouraging words which were:

 

a.   They would maintain a purpose of heart.

b.   They would cleave unto the Lord.

 

      Dear friends, there are so many folks that are discouraged today, because of so many reasons. What can we do? We must give them encouraging words, listen, and provide demonstrations of acts of love.

 P.S  I heard the other day, that one of my children sent a gift of love to one of their siblings as encouragement!  I just want to thank you Jesus! for all of my kids for demonstrating love to each other and to the world!!!!!!!! I love you Brian, Justin , Angela, my daughters in laws , Erika and April, and my son in law Kevin, for acts of love!!!!!  I thank God for my wife Donna, for demonstrating acts of love and brightening  someones day!!!!!!

Love,

 

Eddie
